"Oh, hi Emmylou!" she beamed at the girl and her friends. Had they gotten any butterflies yet? It looked like they had only gotten here and hadn't yet begun. And Kace was totally up for the challenge! "Fantastic! A little competition sounds fun, doesn't it?" She thought so anyway and it was all just for fun besides. "Grab some nets, let's get started!" And she hadn't really caught any yet - she wouldn't count the sparky one - so level playing field.
Oooh and another contender for their little game! Nessa beamed at the young Ravenclaw. "Hi Penelope!" And she seemed ready with her net already. "Alright.. let's see who can catch the most!" Didn't she see something about prizes? Not that she would consider herself in the running for anything like that, even if she did win she'd allow a student to have a prize, but it was still all in good fun. Her brown eyes soon locked on a sparkly purple butterfly landing near a cluster of chiming bluebells. Nessa crept up on it very quietly and swooped her net upon it.
"Hello, Professor Glendower!", she replied to the professor.
"Do you like butterfly hunting?" Had the professor hunted for butterflies before? Penelope enjoyed catching butterflies. This was going to be fun, even if she didn't catch a bunch of butterflies.
Penelope walked over to the flowers were the butterflies were. She swooped her net down on one that was just sitting there, but it disappeared at the last second. Maybe if she didn't move as much, the butterflies wouldn't disappear before she could catch them.
Standing very still, she waited for the butterflies to settle again. One butterfly landed on a flower. Being very careful not to move too much, Penelope moved her net down on the butterfly as fast as she could, so it would not disappear before she could catch it. The butterfly was in her net. She had caught one. Now she was ready to catch more.
